The Memetune Programme: Interstellar Synth TV Series

Strap yourselves in for a voyage of interstellar synth discovery courtesy of Benge and his Memetune Electronic Music Studio. This is episode one of the third series of the program; exploring his passion for vintage synthesizer instruments and studio gear - as well as covering how he uses them in his productions and collaborations.

Here is a youtube playlist of episodes to catch up on! 

The vintage aesthetics, presentation style, sounds and...basically everything in this programme is superb. Each episode is divided into sections, listed below...

SWITCHED ON 80s - A detailed look at the Korg Monopoly from 1981, and Benge unveils his virtual 80s studio environment

LITTLE BLACK BOXES - A look at four of the first true Little Black Boxes - not synths, but early digital reverberation units: the AMS RMX16, Quantec Room Simulator, Yamaha REV1 and the Lexicon Model 200

SYNTHESISER CLUB - Today, it's the Kawai Klub - the K4 synth, R-50 drum machine, Q-80 sequencer and K1m desktop synth. The drum machine and sequencer were very kindly donated to Memetune by a generous viewer called Alex
